Clinton MO - Mrs. F. M. Raines of 407 South Orchard street, who, for two years has been bedfast with an incurable malady, slipped to the shores of Eternity at the end of the Sabbath day, 5:55 o'clock, when the had of her Maker lifted her frail body to scenes of Everlasting Day. Cynthia Rose Hughes was born near Austin, Texas, July 15, 1859, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hughes. "Bobby" Hughes as her father was generally called, was a great hunter and trapper. They came back to Missouri from Texas the first year of the war between the States, in a covered wagon, thinking they could not get back if they delayed. Her mother, Sarah Jane McNew Hughes, died soon after their return to Missouri and was given a military funeral, conducted by the state militia, as her husband was a Union soldier doing escort duty under Capt. Weaver of the state militia. She rests in the McNew burial ground a mile west of Deepwater, annually visited by her granddaughter, Mrs. White. The young Cynthia Rose was given loving care by her brother, John, one of Clinton's City Fathers and her older sister, Sarah. She attended the schools of the Ladue neighborhood. December 23, 1885, she became the bride of F. M. Raines, who was an employee of the old Middlecoff mill and they went to housekeeping at 313 North Water street. Four children were given their union, Ida, Mrs. Moreland, deceased, and Clarence Marion, killed in the Battle of the Argonne in France during the World War; Mrs. Harve Garrett of Carter street and Mrs. W. H. Mansfield of the home, whose constant and devoted care has been given the precious mother, whose every want she anticipated and whose pain she soothed. Mrs. Raines was a fond mother, whose interest was her home and from whose sweet spirited shelter she needed no further outlet or diversion. Quiet, mild, stamped with the true instincts of the real gentlewoman, she lived a simple life, replete with love for her own family and her neighbors. Her love of flowers was one of the dominat joys of her life and she was surrounded with great quantities and many varieties of them during her active years. In her delicate fingers was seemingly the wizardy of growth, for what she planted grew and every blossom she cherished, seeing in its bright hues and shining leaves the promise and love of God. She was a member of the Christian church, which seemed her home and even though she attended little the tie was close and comforting. She accepted life with a sweet philosophy that did not struggle against adversity and no complaints or words of suffering passed her lips in the recent long months. While her body is gone her gentle spirit remains to bless her children even unto the third generation, and comfort her failing husband whose hand still gropes for hers. One brother, John, and a niece, Mrs. Daisy White, also survive and five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The funeral services were Tuesday at the home.
